September 9 & 10, 1941

"A group of young children gaze out at the photographer just prior to their execution by an Einsatzkommando.
An estimated one million Jewish children died in the Holocaust, most of them in the gas chambers of the death camps.
As the Germans swept into Soviet territory, they sometimes turned the task of killing Jewish children over to their Ukrainian allies."

"Dean of faculty at Berlin University, Dr. Franz Six was an SS general commanding a unit of Einsatzgruppe B and responsible for murdering more than 50,000 Jews.
He was sentenced to only 20 years in prison and served but four because John McCloy, American high commissioner of Germany, chose to use him in the U.S. counterintelligence service.
He later testified on behalf of Adolf Eichmann at Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem."

The photo of the children is heartbreaking. I looked at it and then read the caption. It was painful.

Six was designated to command the SS and SD in Britain, and later Vorkommando Moscow. Needless to say, he never took up either appointment.
